Truly lucky he never fell into the drugs and drink trap that so many others suffered thru that ended many a career.
Not sure that ever happened. There were quite a few Saturday morning cartoon series based on real people. Kinda sorta. There was a Harlem Globetrotters cartoon. I looked it up and it was a bit older than I realized, and I only saw it repackaged in the late 70s. It was then spun off into a new series.

Looking up what other Saturday morning cartoons
New Kids on the Block
The Jackson 5
The Osmonds
Hammerman (based on MC Hammer)
Apparently one year Kiss was paied up with Rush on tour. From Rush' lead singer it was a weird match with not much overlap in fandAs a child, I remember listening to Kiss Alive! on vinyl, it was captivating, it felt like you were there. I've seem them in person, more than once, with and without makeup.
K I
I was definitely a bigger fan of RUSH, then I was of KISS.
I have a great memory of meeting Mr. Peart at a scenic byway pullout, a little over 20 years ago. He was riding with his friend and (unsaid but pretty obvious) security guard, I was just on a ride. Just fellow Motorcyclists out enjoying the day and road. A nice guy, whose incredible talent is missed.
That is exactly what I meant. Again, the highest is "Thunderstruck".

Been hearing it a lot for a particular AT&T commercial where players from the Oklahoma City Thunder are seen wearing the same thing where they apparently didn't coordinate (I guess using AT&T cellular connections).
And that's different than airplay per se. The license for music on radio stations is only for the songwriting credits. When it's for a movie or TV, then it gets down to a combination of songwriting (synchronization) and master use (individual recording). There's actually no copyright protection for a specific recording - just for the songwriting.
Q: What Licenses Must I Get To Use A Song In My Film?
A: If you are using a pre-recorded song or another pre-recorded piece of music in your film, there are two rights you need to clear; that is to say, you need to get two different licenses to use the music.
Synchronization License: This is the right to synchronize a song or a piece of music with your visual image. It must be obtained from the copyright owner of the music, which is usually the publisher. You can find out who the publisher is by using ASCAP's Clearance Express (ACE) at www.ascap.com/ace. Songs that are not represented by ASCAP might be found at HFA (www.harryfox.com). You will be provided with a contact at the publisher's Business Affairs or Licensing Department.
Master Use License: This is the right to reproduce a specific recording of a song in your film. You clear this right with the record label who owns the specific recording you would like to use; see the liner notes of the recording to find out which company this is. Alternatively, you can get contact information for record labels by calling ASCAP's Film/TV Department. You will be provided with a contact at the record label's Business Affairs Department.
One of the weirdest things I remember was being at a McDonald's where there were Journey songs playing in the background. Not sure why, but it was some off version of the songs, and when I was commenting on it, an employee said the owner of the franchise was a massive Journey fan, but for some reason he used the versions that were rerecorded after Joe Perry left. Not sure why, but my understanding is that the ASCAP or BMI licenses work for any version of a song.
Correct- 2 separate bands. Alice Cooper was a band until the lead singer changed his name and went out on his own.
Kiss was the biggest band of the mid seventies in terms of touring and concert attendance. As for longevity, did you miss the reunion tour 1996- 2001?
You and your acquaintances must not be musically inclined. The monkeys were a produced band, and some of the members did not even play an instrument. Kiss wrote almost all their songs and played all the music. Gene Simmons was always about money and attention from women. The other members cared more about the music, at least until two of them descended into addiction.
Watch the YouTube vid of Gene Simmons on William Shatners “Raw Nerve”. He had a very interesting life before coming to America.
Never a Kiss cartoon. There was a run of Kiss comics put out by Marvel in the 1970’s.
I didn’t pay much attention to Kiss because THEY SUCK.
No, they don’t suck, they lick it up.
No, but their peak years were what 1976-1978? They had 1 hit after the 70's, and that's about the only one I really ever hear on the radio (I listen to pretty much only 70's and 80's radio stations)
My bad on not being more clear on what I meant.
Everything after that little short run was much like GnR for the last 34 years. GnR still going strong touring, but the run was 1989-1992. The big album dropped in 1987, didn't get big until 1988, and the band was toast by late '92. They put out more stuff, but it wasn't Guns N Roses anymore. Not really.
In my comparison between Kiss and the Monkeys, I fear I wasn't clear. I wasn't trying to say the Monkeys had any musical ability. I was trying to say that IMO, neither Kiss nor the Monkeys had any. Both bands are terrible, again IMO. One or two members having skills does not a band make.
